I'm sure the UFB is a fabulous bike and I'm in awe of the effort that must have gone into creating it, but i justI doubt there is any real market for a $14k bike that looks to the casual eye the same as the $1k bike it is derrived from . If you have that kind of money to spend you want people to know you have that kind of money to spend, which may sound crass but it is experience that holds true in the automotive world. Now if I had $14K to spend on a bike it would have to go on a top end Moulton, instantly recognisable, unique looks and world class performance.
